With Her

we went out for dinner

on valentines day,

she wore the slinky black dress

and earrings that I love

so much;

she still takes my breath away,

and always will;

she tells me about her day,

talking and bubbling

as I bathe in the glow

of her radiance,

full of quiet pride

just to be sitting

at the same table

with her,

she is my partner,

my soul mate;

the woman of my dreams;

she orders her beloved

grilled shrimp,

the big jumbo juicy kind

that I love to watch her eat,

because she smiles

with every bite,

and I feel her passion

as the juice runs down her lips,

and it is all I can do

to keep from leaning over

and licking them clean

with my tongue,

instead I wipe them off

with a napkin,

as she giggles

like a beautiful

young girl;

later,

lying next to

each other

in bed,

her head resting

on my chest,

she tells me

how wonderful

the night has been;

I softly kiss

her head

and tell her

that it truly

was,

but then

with her;

every night is.
